Writing software for the Mac is like being an architect on a planet
where the laws of gravity change each year. Seventeen years of
building and expanding IF MONKS HAD MACS taught me that much. From
the first release of MONKS in 1988 I aimed to create a world as
engaging as the Macintosh itself -- a world that included games and
literary machines. Monks is a library of interactive art that
embraces the fight to take our culture back from corporate sponsorship.
When the Voyager Company released the first 24 volume color version
of MONKS on CD-ROM MacWeek declared the project, "A seminal work of
hypermedia art." I promised then to bring IF MONKS HAD MACS to the
Windows operating system. That was difficult but not as challenging
as building in the ever shifting gravitational field of OS X. I
remained engaged in the project by expanding it at every delay.
Now, at last, what must may be the longest running construction in
the history of new media is finished! While my work might be a legend
in the Mac world, I suspect that it is less than a rumor in the art
world. Now at its completion I'd like to invite any of you who are
interested to visit. MONKS is controversial, yet beautifully
illustrated, quick and deep.

INFRActures is an exhibition project transcending the sensory
perceptible at the convergences of sound art and architecture.
Edwin van der Heide, Cevdet Erek, mxHz.org and STEALTH.[u]ltd have been
commissioned to create four new works which make tangible what is not
registered by our senses within an urban environment, such as ultra- and
infra-sonics, and different perceptions of time and spatiality. Cities
as Rotterdam and Istanbul make up the source material and points of
departure for the installations, which are interactive in character and
allow for a participative and layered audiovisual experience.

Many Rotterdam architects tend to leave the city due to a shortage of
local projects. Rotterdam profiles itself as a city of architecture but
how does this image chime with everyday reality? Artist laurie halsey
brown organizes during the finissage weekend of INFRActures a bus tour
through the city that includes an onboard experimental documentary of
local architects discussing the validity of the citys slogan The City
of Architecture, with stops at several sites built by local architects
and access to a public intervention project placed throughout the city.
The tour begins and ends at V2_

*Talk #1 real virtuality - how to talk about the spatial arts?*
Wednesday, December 21 2005
starting 6:30pm at Voltahalle Basel
7:00 to 8.30pm Discussion with Lev Manovich and Uwe Brckner (English).
Presentation: Vera Bhlmann
Followed by drinks and music with Dj's Stiebeltron Inc. and visuals by
Lev Manovich (Soft Cinema).
Real virtuality - how to talk about the spatial arts?
Today most of our critical attention goes to either the arts of shapes
and forms (architecture, design) or the arts of the image (photography,
film, video, media art). But some of the most interesting creative
practices today fall in between: scenogaphy, set design, media skins,
experience design, exhibition design, interactive design. These practices
use architecture, media, light, color, sound, transparency, interactivity,
and human behaviors as their material. How can we talk about these new
"spatial arts"?
Lev Manovich is Professor of Visual Arts at the University of California,
San Diego, and Director of The Lab for Cultural Analysis at California
Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology. Lev Manovich
is the author of Soft Cinema: Navigating the Database (The MIT Press,
2005), and The Language of New Media (The MIT Press, 2001).

Uwe Brckner is Professor for Scenography at the University of Art and
Design Basle, Institute Interior Design and Scenography. He is a member
of the Art Directors Club Germany. His own studio atelierbrckner is
located in Stuttgart, Germany and has realized a number of projects, to
which belong the pavilion "viv(r)e les frontires" at the Swiss Expo.02,
as well as the pavilion "CYCLEBOWL" at the German Expo 2000.

Call for Papers: Deadline Reminder
Ephemeral Cinema, Invisible Media: Sound and Image at the Edge of
Awareness
Spectator, Volume 26, No. 2 (Spring 2006)
This issue of Spectator will explore media that hover at the intersection
of the fleeting and the disposable. We are soliciting articles, essays,
interviews, ethnographies (textual and visual), and short reviews that
examine from historical, political, economic, and cultural perspectives
trash and exploitation cinema, youth and minority media production, art
film and video, ultra low budget production, ambient media and other
production forms that are for the most part ignored or excluded from the
ecology of mainstream and academic media discourse. In short, this issue
will focus on media that are either rendered invisible by virtue of their
difference from Hollywood movies
and network-cable television or are momentarily seen by viewers and then
for the most part forgotten.
Furthermore many of these discarded cultural forms have been recently
'discovered' or rediscovered by scholars and critics and are now moving
toward institutional consecration. How these media respond to this
increasing legitimization and the implication this has for dominant media
forms is also open for examination.
Of course, there is a considerable amount of writing over the past two
hundred years that has celebrated the discarded and the degraded as a
shadow to that which is considered ennobled or transcendent. It has been
pointed out by commentators, Foucault and Derrida most famously, that
this shadow is intrinsically linked to the success of that which
dominates. This discourse of shadow and light ' at issue a politics of
absence and presence ' will serve as a point of departure from which to
acknowledge and analyze media that are either ignored for reasons of
aesthetic elitism and 'good taste' or for reasons of invisibility due to
ubiquity. In addition, many of these shadow media forms have constituent
groups -fans, bank managers, teenagers- that consume and produce them and
these specific cultural groupings may be explored as well.
Manuscripts submitted for consideration should look toward understanding
why some media forms strike the eye and why some merely glance aside.
Deadline for Submission: December 1, 2005
Spectator is a biannual publication of the Division of Critical Studies
at the School of Cinema-Television, University of Southern California.
Manuscripts that address the above topic are now invited for submission:
Topics may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
Histories of the Ephemeral and the Invisible
Ethnographies of the Ephemeral and the Invisible
Cultures of Trash, Camp, Cult, and Exploitation
Auteurs of the Ephemeral (Derek Jarman, Andy Warhol, Doris Wishman and
many others)
Trash Genres
Snapshots and Memory
Home Movies & Baby Pictures
Comic Books and Strips (Smiling Jack, Brenda Starr, Blackhawk, Sugar and
Spice, etc.)
Public Screens: Bank Machines, Sports Bars, Information Kiosks
Ambient Sound and Image
Recycled Media
Indigenous Media
Community and Public Access Television
Movies by Kids, Tots

December 2005 on -empyre- soft-skinned space : Art and Cognition
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This month's topic will be art and cognition based on some premises
proposed by artist and researcher Louis Bec. Since the evolution of
cognitive sciences is progressively more marked by the use of
technological simulation, the similarities between art and cognition are
reinforced. According to Bec, the cognitive sciences cease to be merely
explicative and become a creative well-spring, a take off point of
imagination. The art/cognition interface is the source of an entire range
of new questions concerning the role of the living world, its nature, its
status and its future. These questions bear not only on
matters of redefinition, representation, behavioural modes and
perceptive, mental and imaginative functioning; not only on the potential
for learning, communication, expression, innovation and creation; but
also, and decisively, on modes of social and spatial organization, on the
management of the biosphere and of urban energies and environments, on the
creation of models of economic systems, on the handling of the industries
of knowledge, information and images.

I'd like to introduce Eye Level (eyelevel.si.edu), the blog for the
Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM). It's one of just a few museums
forging new ground with new media (and the Smithsonian's first blog!).
Today's the official launch and I hope you'll check it out.
When the Smithsonian American Art Museum reopens its renovated historic
main building in July 2006, it will be a showcase for American art that
celebrates this nation's vision and creativity. Eye Level is part of the
museum's continuing effort to explore the stories central to the American
experience and to search for what connects Americans today.
Using the museum's collection as a touchstone, the conversation at Eye
Level will center on the ways in which the nation's art connects to its
history and culture. The discussion will extend beyond works at the
Smithsonian American Art Museum to include other collections,
exhibitions, and events.
Eye Level presents an extraordinary collaboration among curators,
conservators, historians, enthusiasts, critics, designers, and of course
bloggers-all participants in the story of American art. We invite you to
join the discussion at SAAM's blog-Eye Level.
Best, Jeff
